Single phase Bunsenite NiO nanoparticles green synthesis by Agathosma betulina natural extract
(Elservier, 2016-02-05)
This contribution reports on the synthesis and the main physical properties of p-type NiO nanoparticles synthesized for the first time by a completely green process using Agathosma betulina plant extract as an effective ...
Feeding donkeys
(Livestock Research for Rural Development, 2000)
Feeding is an important aspect in the management of any farm animal. It requires knowledge of the feeding behaviour and nutrient requirements of animals for specific production functions, e.g. work. The objective when ...
A critical analysis of disease-associated DNA polymorphisms in the genes of cattle, goat, sheep, and pig
(Springer Verlag, 2008-04)
Genetic variations through their effects on gene expression and protein function underlie disease susceptibility in farm animal species. The variations are in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms, deletions/insertions ...
Green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles via Agathosma betulina natural extract
(Elservier, 2015-12-15)
This contribution reports on the synthesis and the main physical properties of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized for the first time by a completely green process using Agathosma betulina plant extract as an effective chelating ...
Cross-sectional prevalence of Fasciola gigantica infections in beef cattle in Botswana
(Springer Link, 2018-04-26)
A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence and distribution of Fasciola gigantica infections in communally grazed and ranch-grazed beef cattle through coprological examination. A total of 8646 ...
Nutrient digestibility, haemo-biochemical parameters and growth performance of an indigenous chicken strain fed canola meal–containing diets
(SpringerLink, 2019-06-06)
Canola meal (CM) is a potential alternative dietary protein source for indigenous chickens but its utility may be limited by anti-nutrients such as fibre and phytochemical compounds. This study, therefore, explores the ...
Ostrich feeding and nutrition
(Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2003)
Ostriches are monogastric herbivores. Palatability is crucial to stimulate feed ingestion by the birds. When formulating rations for ostriches, cotton seed cake, meal or seeds should not be used to avoid gossypol poisoning. ...
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 3′UTR SNPs and their influence on milk fatty acid composition of Canadian Holstein cows
(Wiley, 2009-09-16)
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) catalyses the synthesis of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in the mammary gland of ruminant animals. Considerable variations in CLA and MUFA have been ...
Potential for Improving Health: Calcium Bioavailability in Milk and Dairy Products
(Wiley, 2009-06-12)
Calcium and body weight and obesity; Calcium and cardiovascular diseases; Calcium and osteoporosis; Calcium bioavailability in milk and dairy products; Calcium from milk and dairy products; Calcium, abundant mineral in ...
Breed effects and heterosis for weight traits and tick count in a cross between an indigenous fat-tailed and a commercial sheep breed
(Springer Link, 2021-02-15)
Ticks can compromise productivity and welfare in free-ranging sheep. Chemical tick control may not be sustainable in the long term. Alternative control measures must be sought for an integrated control programme. Birth and ...
